Eddie from Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary
I took me years before I was able to capture an image of one of the Ngamba Island Chimpanzees standing on two legs. When we went to the lakeside, Eddie stood up while I was photographing. Founded in 1998 by Dr. Jane Goodall and a group of Ugandan trustees, this wonderful sanctuary is home to 52 chimps that have been rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. Eddie was in a circus before being brought to the sanctuary. The great apes at Ngamba live on 95 acres of pristine forest habitat. Visit NgambaIsland.org.

Chris Austria

I am professional photographer, videographer, and the CEO of Chris Austria Safaris Ltd. in Uganda. Before moving to this beautiful country, I lived in Ethiopia, and Rwanda. My travel company offers customized wildlife, cultural, and photographic safaris in Uganda, and Rwanda. I’m very passionate about sharing the stunning beauty, culture, people, fashion, food and wildlife from the Pearl Of Africa. 

When I lived in the US, I worked with tigers, lions, and other animals for many years at Six Flags in Vallejo, CA and the San Francisco Zoo. This rewarding career inspired me to focus my energies towards wildlife conservation, tourism, and protecting endangered species.
